Therapist

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just trying to find your footing during a difficult season of life, I want you to know you don't have to navigate it alone.

My own story began in the Dominican Republic, and I was raised in the heart of the Bronx, NY. Growing up between two distinct worlds gave me a deep appreciation for culture, identity, and the unique stories we all carry. Because of this, I am proud to offer a completely bilingual space, holding therapy sessions in both English and Spanish.

With over 10 years of experience as a therapist, my main goal is to make sure you feel seen, safe, and truly understood. I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach to mental health. Instead, we work together to help you find balance, heal from the past, and build a life that feels genuinely good to live.

I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I saw several movies with therapist as the main character.

I believe change happens when we all work together to help each other.

Clients who get the most out of therapy with me are clients with variety of different issues and concerns.

Three words that describe my style are cultural competency, empathy and effective listening skills.

Something about me that is unique is I have ran several 10K and 5K races and running is a hobby and passion of mine.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wilmington

Finding the right therapist in Wilmington, DE starts with getting clear on what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach before you commit.

With hundreds of licensed mental health providers practicing across Wilmington and nearby areas like Newark, Hockessin, and New Castle, narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — a specific therapy style like CBT or DBT, the option to meet virtually or in person, or a provider who shares your cultural background or speaks your language. A free phone consultation can also help you decide if a provider is the right fit.

Therapy in Wilmington can be costly without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per visit, though costs vary based on your plan and location. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
